You should submit to the Registrar written requests that identify the
record(s) you wish to inspect. The University official will make
arrangements for access and notify you of the time and place where the
records may be inspected. If the records are not maintained by the
University official to whom the request was submitted, he or she will
advise you of the correct official to whom the request should be
addressed.

You may ask the University to amend a record that you believe is
inaccurate or misleading. You should write the Registrar, clearly
identify the part of the record you want changed, and specify why it is
inaccurate or misleading.
If the University decides not to amend the record as requested by you,
the University will notify you of the decision and advise you of your
right to a hearing regarding the request for amendment. Additional
information regarding the hearing procedure will be provided to you when
notified of the right to a hearing.

One exception which permits disclosure without consent is disclosure
to school officials with legitimate educational interests. A school
official is a person employed by the University in a administrative,
supervisory, academic or research, or support staff position (including
law enforcement unit personnel and health staff); a person or company
with whom the University has contracted (such as an attorney, auditor,
or collection agent); a person serving on the Board of Trustees; or a
student serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or
grievance committee, or assisting another school official in performing
his or her tasks.
A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official
needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her
professional responsibility.
Upon request, the University discloses education records without consent
to officials of another school in which you may seek or intend to
enroll.
